THE much anticipated Blairmont Cricket Club organized inaugural Umpires Cup fundraiser has been rescheduled for May 21, due to the inclement weather.

The one-day event was slated for yesterday at the Blairmont Community Development Centre ground.

However, information coming out from the organising committee last evening indicated that there will be no changes to the original programme.

The day’s event will feature 10/10 cricket, involving D’Edward Super Kings, Blairmont Blazers, Shieldstown Rangers, Young and the Restless, Blairmont Titans and No 48 Challengers.

There will be a dominoes competition, checkers and volleyball.

Other attractions will include BBQ sales, tassa drumming, ice cream give-aways, live commentary and a cartoon character walk-around.

The Guyana Cricket Umpires Council (GCUC) will be seeking to send six members,including president Dhieranidranauth Somwaru and former international umpire Eddie Nicholls,to an umpire’s convention in Jamaica from July 1 to 8.

Participants of the convention will come from Canada, USA, and the Caribbean cricketing territories. The cost per person is estimated to be US$1 680.
